♥ Assembling
Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi, I’d like to use sewing pins to position all parts first until I’m happy. Then I will sew them on. I recommend you do so as well.
Sew first his snout slightly in between his eyes, you might wanna stuff it a bit while sewing it on. Then find the position of his ears and sew those on. Cut his hair to the length you want and unraffle the strings with a needle or brush. Tie his scarf around his neck. From black felt, cut a small nose and glue this on.
If you wanna be able to hang it, make sure you add a little loop to the top.
I hope you enjoyed today’s pattern! I think it’s adorable. If you decided to make any of the blogmas amigurumi, please show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY. I’d love to see what you make using my patterns.
